General

As usual, I wake up to alarm on my phone. Stretch like the dead, staggering to get up. Walking into my bathroom do my business. Yawning while I get dressed, rushing to put on my makeup . Looking at my reflection, my hazel eyes shining, my thin eyebrows light black in color. Bringing my red hair into a messy bun long enough to do my squared face with prominate freckles spreading accross my nose to my cheeks. Light colored foundation, light brown with a tan colored eyeshadow, no lipstick, little blush,some hightlight,black thin line of liner,mascara, over look myself I'm done. Heading to the kitchen I get the coffee maker going ,then think of my next move in my story. Will someone find out their secret life? Will I make it a sad ending. The list goes on playing in my mind . Today is my day off from work. So I sit down with my notebook in hand. To see if scarlett can convince daddy that she will take care of the kitten she named crybaby. Scarlett is a beauty, blonde hair with light curls , bluest eyes, no freckles like her mother, tall for four years old, small frame, with an angelic face sure to lighten up anyone day who stares at her. The kitten is a pretty little thing. Black/grey in color with white being the more obvious color. Given the name crybaby,because most of the time shes meowing in a crying like manner. Her daddy stands a tall 6'0 , red/blonde hair, left ear pierced, tattoos covering his lower arms, he's not big,but he's not small either. A serious look upon his face as he is about to say no. Scarlett gives him this sad look on her face. Grimacing, he faces into her wishes. Excitedly she cheers. "Daddy said I can keep crybaby, shes my kitten now!!!"... much to my not so surprised face, her mommy comes to her to hug her for her victory. She's like my mirror image. Standing 5'5 in height, long way curls of red hair, hazel green/ Brown eyes, freckles accross her squared face, small bulid, 143 lbs. Love spreading accross her face. Beth is her name . "Ok , now you take care of her,she's your responablilty now!" Kevin her daddy says with a half smile half grown on his face. And my story goes on until Scarlett is now a mere teenager,still blonde hair, bluest eyes, a tall 5'9 , still small in size. Now light touch of makeup on her face. A little bit of freckles dancing upon her face. She still has crybaby. Now crybaby is grown she don't cry as much. But I decide against a bad ending and against an secretive one. Leaving my story with amending as good as my life. But wait!!! ... here's the kicker , this is my life I write down in the book. For I am scarletts mommy. Yes , you heard correct. I'm the red haired, wavy curls, green/browned hazel eyed, freckles on my squared faced, 5'5 , small framed, but weighting 143 lb. Mommy in my story about my life. Upon realzation, I grab my chest, start to freeze. Then a though hits me. "Maybe , just maybe No one else will see it . . " I say to myself satisfied. I fold the page where my story ends. As to save my place so I can be the only one to ever know if it's existence. Stretch some more. Looking at the time I wake up scarlett. Turn on a movie for us to watch. All the while waiting for Kevin to stir in our bedroom. After all its only 10 a.m. got an hour before he wakes up. Poor hunny he works til late at night closing for his job. Him being a pizza maker, me a mere cashier with a wish to write stories that create a whole new world for the readers. Maybe one day I can brace it out. My dream. . I say to myself as I drink my coffee. Curled up on the couch.scarlett in the chair curled up as well. As I look at her with unexplainable amount of love. Few years from now I can picture us doing thus very thing. Except I will be living my dream along with my husbands. Scarlett will be older like in my story her own coffee in hand ;and we will share stories with each other. She will have a boyfriend that we will talk about sure to not let her daddy hear. He always says "she can't date until she's married! " again how is that possible I ponder. You have to date before you marry. Not like the old,old times. Where you are forced into marriage with a complete stranger. No. Not happening I smirk saying this to myself. Scarlett looks in a trance as little foot on land before time cries saying it's all her fault. Hour later he's up finally cooking is up food. I love his cooking its always good. Then there's me snatching up the good in process as it cooks. Annoyed he playful pushed me away from the food. I submit ,turn around and smack on his arm before retreating to the couch pouting. Our daily routine. Minutes later he brings both me and scarlett our plates as I go to dig in he sits beside me on the couch kisses me gently. We say I love yous. Scarlett just smiles happily at our act then digs in herself meanwhile still watching land before time . While crybabys in her arms sleeping soundly. Boy the live they ate sharing its refreshing to see the least. She has been doing a wonderful job with her. Feeds her, helos bathe her, even protects her from trouble. Its cute. I know she will be a great mother someday in distant future where im older and grey and her daddy isnt ready to kill a poor boy. I laught at that though. Seeing kevin gaining up on thus poor guy who simply just wants to take our daughter on one date. For now thought scarlett is potty training ,then going to pre-k soon. School furst then the guys. Afyer im fulk i go to get my pkate put up but before i can kevon grabs it uo kises me softly then puts it into the sink. Defeated I just drink into the couch and watch the movie. Laughter is heard booming in my kitchen. Scarlett can be seen taking her plate to the sink. "Now see she can do it, I'm perfectly capable of it,why don't you let me?" . I ask. "Because I'm just showing my love for you. ". Kevin says a little sadly. I hug him and kiss him for comfort and foto say I forgive him . Now this is where my story ends. Do not misintpret it!. For all along my goal was to confused you. Yes my story is finished now. I will be publishing it soon !
